11 Things You Learn Rewatching From Russia With Love

9. Matt Monro's Title Song Doesn't Play Over The Titles...For Some Reason

If you haven't seen From Russia with Love in some time, you'll probably safely assume that Matt Monro's iconic, Frank Sinatra-esque title song plays over the opening title sequence, but surprisingly, that's not the case at all.

Even though it's a Bond staple to have the title song accompany the title sequence, here John Barry's orchestral score is instead featured, while Monro's terrific tune is played briefly later in the movie and gets its most prominent showing in the film's end credits.

While some of the earlier Bond songs sound a little goofy to modern ears, Monro's is a smooth, agreeably old-school classic that probably should've been given a more fitting place in the movie.
